CB/feat: Add custom README for Codeberg's fork #82
n0toose/CB/feat: Add custom README for Codeberg's fork into codeberg-1.21 Related to: Codeberg/Community#1416
We tried to reduce references to our Forgejo fork as of recently, because we observed that people repeatedly do the following mistake: People learn that Forgejo is a Codeberg project. They visit Codeberg, and find the Forgejo source (from our fork instead of the official Forgejo source). They deploy this code to their production machines, although it is probably not suited for the task.
We must take care not to add to this kind of confusion again, but unambiguously distinguish between the code that runs on Codeberg and the code you should deploy to your own machine, because the former comes with certain caveats and potential surprises.

That kind of link seems helpful in finding all projects that one might find useful in running their own version of the whole website, but it's not so good at the core problem we want to address which is to getting the source that corresponds to each of the JavaScript blobs Codeberg serves.

That page is not accessible without JavaScript, and I would not expect to find the source there. It should just be linked directly in the footer.

As discussed in #1416 I suggest language like:
"exclusively intended for codeberg.org and NOT to be used for other deployments" and with a reference to Codeberg trademarks.
I would like to see the README state something about the scope of the differences between this and regular Forgejo. What is changed aside from branding?
"exclusively intended for codeberg.org and NOT to be used for other deployments" and with a reference to Codeberg trademarks.
I am honestly not aware of the Codeberg trademark situation and how that works for us, but I think that I covered the differences in a way that would make the document timeless.
No due date set.
No dependencies set.
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
